**Lucas Brumary – Scion of Steel and Starfire** --- ## Overview **Lucas Brumary** is the second son of House Brumary, a noble family renowned for its centuries-old legacy of blacksmithing and warfare within the southern Kalanthie kingdom of South Angoria. Though his house stands in the lower to mid-tier of nobility, their reputation for discipline, craftsmanship, and loyalty to the crown of Kalanthie has long held firm. Lucas was raised with strong ideals, high expectations, and a lineage rich in honor. --- ## Early Life & Training Lucas was born to **Andrew Brumary**, the stoic and powerful head of House Brumary, and **Marceline Brumary**, a refined and sharp-witted woman of grace and strength. As a child, Lucas trained in martial arts under his uncle **Gilligan Brumary** and later learned the ancient smithing arts of the family under his aunt, **Kathrine Warddun**, a master of the forge. At the age of 16, Lucas completed a rite of passage by forging his personal blade—an elegant weapon with a moonlit sheen, which he still carries. His blade became a symbol of his budding mastery and the start of his personal quest. --- ## Family - **Father**: Andrew Brumary – Head of the House, respected soldier. - **Mother**: Marceline Brumary – Polished, articulate, politically savvy. - **Older Brother**: Victor Brumary – Loyal, dutiful, and accomplished. - **Younger Sister**: Hilda Brumary – Spoiled but affable and clever. - **Youngest Brother**: Alistar Brumary – Shy but deeply intelligent. - **Uncle**: Gilligan Brumary – Warrior, trainer of Lucas in youth. - **Aunt**: Kathrine Warddun – Renowned blacksmith, Lucas's mentor. - **Handmaid**: Francine Helper – Dutiful, humorous, and loyal family servant. **House Crest**: A blooming blue rose – symbolizing beauty through strength and patience. --- ## The Masterwork Quest Lucas was granted permission to leave the family estate at age 18 with a noble mission: to craft a **masterwork weapon** using rare, powerful materials gathered through his own travels and trials. This Brumary tradition is a rite that proves a noble’s worth before returning to serve the family. Lucas intends to forge a weapon like no other—possibly quenching it in dragon’s blood—to surpass even the legends of old. --- ## Adventuring History Lucas joined a band of adventurers and traveled across Solare, living through highs and lows. His most traumatic moment came during a doomed dungeon expedition that claimed the lives of most of his companions under suspicious circumstances. Though he survived, the mystery haunts him. ### Former Companions: - **Scarlet** (Human Wizard): Smart, willful, alive. - **Varus** (Elf Ranger): Calm, missing in action. - **Ezrosa** (Green Dragonborn Druid): Gentle, missing. - **Picket** (Halfling Bard): Loud, likely dead. - **Sloth** (Dwarf Rogue): Quiet, likely alive. --- ## Hidden Threat: The Obsidian Circle Unknown to Lucas, a shadowy organization called the **Obsidian Circle** has sought to eliminate him and his bloodline. They believe the Brumary family carries a prophecy tied to ancient elemental magic. Lucas may be the last descendant capable of awakening this power. The Obsidian Circle seeks to resurrect a force of darkness and fears Lucas could prevent their rise. His father Andrew has known of this threat and quietly shields his son from afar, hoping Lucas will either rise or remain hidden from the Circle's gaze. --- ## Prophecy & Divine Connection Lucas has begun having dreams of a **serpent coiled around the world**, a vision of impending doom. Within these dreams appears **[[Aurelia – The Archfey of Luminous Grace|Aurelia]]**, the Archfey of Luminous Grace, who reveals his destiny. She is his ancestral patron and protector, whose power once flowed through his ancestors during a time of great war. Now, she calls upon Lucas to awaken the strength within him to stand against her brother, the corrupted Archfey **[[Vorothor]]**. > _"Lucas, the serpent coils tighter. You must rise." – [[Aurelia – The Archfey of Luminous Grace|Aurelia]]_ [[Aurelia – The Archfey of Luminous Grace|Aurelia]]’s divine magic has begun to stir in him. Though his powers are not yet fully awakened, they are beginning to emerge—signaling that Lucas’s true journey has only just begun. --- ## Present Role Lucas is currently journeying apart from the main party, a member of the **Heralds of Silver**, and known as one of the heroes who helped bring down the Devil King in Polaria. Whether he will return to his family with his masterwork complete, or find a greater calling, remains to be seen. --- ## Hooks for Future Campaigns - **Masterwork Blade**: Lucas seeks rare components like dragon blood, star-metal, or elemental crystal. - **The Obsidian Circle**: Their agents hunt him; he may uncover one hiding in a royal court. - **The Awakening Power**: Will Lucas accept [[Aurelia – The Archfey of Luminous Grace|Aurelia]] fully—or will another patron seek to tempt him? - **The Forgotten Branch**: A secret splinter family of the Brumarys may yet emerge as rivals. **Legacy, steel, and destiny burn within his veins.**
